Question: Can I use landscape fabric to hold up insulation in the crawlspace?
Edgar writes from Ladson, South Carolina: "Can I use landscape fabric or cloth instead of chicken wire to hold up the insulation in the crawlspace?"
Answer: Since we do not know the fire performance of landscape fabric we cannot recommend its use in a crawlspace in an exposed application. In order to leave a product exposed it must have a flame spread rating of 25 or less and a smoke-developed rating of 450 or less.
